Editor in Chief (2025)
Corrella (Corrie) Detweiler 
, University of Colorado, Boulder, is an Associate Professor in the Molecular Cellular and Developmental Biology Department. She brings to MMBR a broad background in microbiology, including graduate work in yeast cell DNA replication at the University of California, San Francisco, with Dr. Joachim Li. As a postdoctoral fellow she studied bacterial virulence determinants with Dr. Stanley Falkow at Stanford Medical School. In her laboratory at the University of Colorado, her research began with a focus on host-pathogen interactions, specifically, how bacteria survive within macrophages. Her laboratory is currently using basic biology as a foundation to discover new chemicals for understanding and treating bacterial infections. She also participates in a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) aimed at engaging first-year students in microbiological research.
